Will review within the next three days.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:58, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lede
  • ."As the Catholic population grew, the size of the Gedangan parish diminished as new ones were established." No previous mention of Gedangan. I gather that is the ecclesiastical parish? You might want to mention something about it being within it.
A new church
  • "The tower was also given a clock and bells during this period; the clock was removed in 1978 since the machinery was broken. Lijden died in 1882, and the Jesuit Joannes de Vries became the parish priest; all of St. Joseph's head pastors since have been Jesuits.[" The two semi colons repeat a bit on me here, can you find a way to avoid this?
  • "using bricks imported from the Netherlands " -you might link bricks to Dutch brick.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:33, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • " A multi-story presbytery was begun" -can you reword begun? I never like "was begun".
  • Add a space between 1 and August.
Must be the font I'm using!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:39, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Also installed that year were carvings depicting the fourteen Stations of the Cross" -do we know the artist?
Growth
  • Three Jesuits were sent, - I think there should probably be a dash here rather than a comma.

Nice article, interesting insight into Catholic history in Indonesia in context too.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:53, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
